+1 Love when college kids throw MS at a topic in which they are way out of their depth Benson Says
+1 I'm a pretty social guy, and more so when I'm drinking, so I just introduced myself to the person next to me and we chatted just generally, told them where I go to school, and they said they have some buddies from there. Investment Analyst in HF - RelVal
+1 2nd rounds have come out.  chikcnnew
+1 Incoming Analyst in S&T - Equities: Intern in S&T - Other
+1 also saw someone with this on their linkedin: "UBS (S&T): 2026 Summer Internship offer received" without a spring week, so yh, offers out catlover12
+1 If a firm really wants you badly, they can put you in another country. There were a few cases where this seems to have happened. The courts in say China or UAE won't care about a New York NC. cp5670
+1 The links still suggest to me that the NC will not be enforceable if the person was originally hired in CA. Employers even face liability for attempting to enforce them (might have to pay legal fees etc.). Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 FSG holds the pen on the models. Levfin digs into the credit fundamentals more when it comes to things like spreading comps and reading through the indentures/credit agreements. herbachino
+1 What is the point? Part of a guarantee is being mad whole on what you’re leaving behind in deferred at old shop + claw back at old shop + a lot more on top to incentivize you to leave in the first place Research Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+1 Depends on how much of a non target you're coming from. Big state school but not a traditional target like Rutgers, Penn State, Ohio State, ? Yeah I'd stick it out there. Substack_Guy
+1 Capital of Structurewho gives a f, not sure why this is a headline Ozymandia
+1 Yes, it's not what the court says, it's the fact that all these firms pretend their NCs are enforceable with each other.  Newco is happy to drop you if Oldco calls and claims NC violation. qnt12345
+1 I’m more curious about ASPD and the relationship to becoming a billionaire than IQ. Also, could see it moving up a couple points in average but not enough to completely flip the dynamic. Ehmerica
+1 Even for PE, they’re a bit ruthless when it comes to cutting costs. I’d imagine that people have sharp elbows there but can’t say I’ve had too much direct experience with them Associate 1 in Private Credit
+1 Terrible team - hasn't done a notable deal out of that office in 5 years (almost everything out of London) and works as hard as BMO M&M. ED /VPs in that vertical also very toxic / hard to work with. Stay away Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 I was told in my email for the R1 that it would be a 10 minute technical interview curious if any of you had it already  9898cabo
+1 If the primary means of this exercise is to improve your modeling/presentation, then by all means. And you can mention in your outreach that “I’d love to share an idea”. sports man 1500
+1 Addy shortage doing me dirt, can’t get it anywhere. My cocaine is medicinal WasntMe
+1 Unfortunately the tribalism is already here and is dividing and weakening America. Unity used to be our strength, Americans came before all. DealFlu
+1 any updates on responsibilities, culture, exits, upside etc. Prospect in IB - Cov
+1 LA office is a three person team, 1 SMD from Rothschild along with a 1st year MBA Associate and a 1st year analyst, and they focus on devices and dx. That office is very keen on recruiting from Wisconsin. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 What advice are you specifically looking for? how to get a job at one? how to be successful when you're there?  Determined
+1 Dawg how tf is your entire inner circle at a Tiger cub/grandcub Intern in ER
+1 I'm going to be blunt, this feels like a chatgpt RSS feed. Determined
+1 OP here - Thanks for asking. It's sort of a long story, but I gave up on finding a job and ended up getting a bunch of part-time gigs while moving to a lower cost of living city.  Research Analyst in S&T - Equities
+1 Something that works really well to improve your resume/modelling & presentation skills are case competitions!  WeezyWizzard
+1 Negative Cremonkeyyy136
+1 So what bank’s program are you complaining about? GymOfficeBed
+1 Mix of both. Definitely a lot of refi's, but there's certainly a fair amount of M&A and LBO work as well. Group pretty much does everything. herbachino
+1 This is a positive for the U.S. actually. The best Brits who care about innovation / wealth accretion / R&D / etc will be more inclining to move to America. hedgehog9
+1 OP here— my average day is 8am-7pm, most of my weekends are free. My day is usually filled with reporting and DDQ related tasks for Wirehouses/Institutional Teams/RIAs and also regular Corporate Diligence. Analyst 1 in PE - Other
+1 There is nothing they can do. hedgehog9
+1 I'd say MM ➔ lateral is definitely a better move than investing in a masters and re-recruiting for internships again. Prospect in IB-M&A
+1 I started at 100k base, it's doable just echoing keep rent in check, that's gonna be the killer. Get a roommate and just try to keep an eye on what you're spending at bars / on food. LauraBushKilledAGuy
+1 If AI works out as some massive labor replacement, capital is not throwing $1T of CapEx at the problem to hand all the gains back to labor. qnt12345
+1 Cartier Santos is class. i think the one with the green dial is so nice Fast and Fiduciary
+1 del oxycontin30mg
+1 Thanks for the reply! I read a lot on Substack, and for context I worked in venture last summer and will be doing tech banking next summer.  oxycontin30mg
+1 pure commod shops like traf and vitol way better than hfs. Should aim for TDPs as a fresh grad marcrich1934
+1 The Breguet, GO or JLC are head and shoulders above the others from a movement and finishing standpoint. Those three are all "watch guy" watches and are really great value for the money imo. Outsiders
+1 had my interview; was told they go on till tmrw and decisions will be made late into the week and early next week.  bankerz.
+1 Didn't Qatalyst do Darktrace, Melio, Cognigy, Nexthink? Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 If we get to the point where UBI is enacted, some pretty ugly stuff is going to happen beforehand. MMPM
+1 Yes, but the same thing can be said of any target school, even Brown, where finance is rising in popularity as a career.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 if you're constantly in a deficit there's a chance your body is signaling "OH FUCK WERE STARVING CONSERVE CONSERVE" so consider upping the calories, making your cardio 70-90% low intensity (walking more), and always coolin thebrofessor
+1 Your plan is well-thought-out and demonstrates a clear understanding of your strengths, limitations, and the competitive nature of the finance industry. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Also being a DUS UW is just a standard 9-5 job, most probably not even putting up 40 a week. Analyst 1 in RE - Comm
+1 . Trust-The-Process
+1 Thank you and I really appreciate your insight here, but I have done everything you wrote, and it just caused them to walk all over me, give one-word answers, never ask about me, and show soul crushing levels of passive ag Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Correct, don't get why so many people are upvoting this. Last thing we need is a deluge of AI posts. Buzz_Lightyear
+1 Didn’t really think about it until your post, but actually yes. It’s getting meme’d to death by too online hysterics that are probably lonely recoveringalc
+1 you'll get paid very well particularly as an associate - they pay an american salary in london. if you can survive, you can get promoted. but it's very sweaty. Exit ops will be solid. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 DealFlu hungaroe
+1 pihyperAI slop. Can easily tell.  Absolutely  hungaroe
+1 M&A def doesnt hold pen on model in top groups such as HC, Tech, CMT Avoid Capital Markets for culture reasons Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Why do you think they’re considering pulling the offer? [email protected]
+1 They really treat GHL and Mizuho as separate firms. Greenhill employees can visit the Miz office but not vice versa in SF. They haven't integrated the banks in any meaningful way below the MD level, if even that Analyst 3+ in IB-M&A
+1 Probably as non target as you can get Intern in IB - Gen
+1 Don’t think they have dedicated VP/EDs for mining in the Toronto office. It’s part-time schmucks  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 If you are PoC, only entertain teams that have at least 1 PoC at VP and above.  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+1 . Trust-The-Process
+1 Yes Pulisic69
+1 I know a guy who went to RPI who's at GS now, but who had a stroke of luck when it came to getting his first job. There are much easier roads to the street, and much less expensive as well. Firmly a Non-Target.  Substack_Guy
+1 lmfao this is the funniest shit ive read today. yall crack me up reset5700847

+1 Missed the cut, but if you do this for 26-30 yr olds I'd be happy to chime in. Fast and Fiduciary
+1 Does anyone use NotebookLM? I'm with a development company and I found that NotebookLM has been very helpful. I just take all the files and dump it into a project on it. LawsonLovesNOI
+1 I just lateraled after being on the desk for 6 months. As long as you can speak intelligently to the deals you were on and what you contributed you will make it to superdays  Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Two things:  monkeyvjit
+1 it 100% is Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+1 Nothing yet G! ohyeahfinnancé

+1 Burnout has indeed turned my brain into a nut, but thank you for your insight.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 There is none. Congrats on 10pm bedtimes! slipperybanana
+1 I would imagine you could get your foot in the door to an interview at a bank with your background. How you do in the interview would probably depend on how much you prepare. Director in CB
+1 I do mentor regularly, though all of its unofficial thebrofessor
+1 hell yeah, congrats! Looks like life has been treating you well. Pierogi Equities
+1 That's the thing. I am looking for a career pivot from M&A to Distressed / RX. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Private capital. Although I will say if I were to do it over again I'd do private capital for 5-10 diligences and then do some operational / strategy things as well. Diminishing returns... Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Starting a business is probably the way to go for the reasons you mentioned. Dealing with what the sellers left behind has been brutal (very old company, no reinvestment, poorly managed properties and equipment, etc). Enlightenment
+1 I am a few years older than you (title is stale) and it's amazing the variety of exits my class took after PE. Everything from entrepreneurship/buying a business, to startup, to MM PE or corporate... Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+1 they're reducing class sizes... Intern in ER
+1 Good culture, deal quality is group dependent  ssstiringer
+1 Definitely with you on that. It’s not easy. But also, going from 0 -> 1 was the most fun part IMO. monkeyvjit
+1 I’m thinking a blend of factors; wealthier people (not causative I definitely don’t think only wealthy people are attractive lmao, just that they typically marry other good looking people)—- Bud Fox 22
+1 Based on the most helpful WSO content, your profile is strong, and your strategy of targeting STEM-certified master’s programs is spot-on for maximizing your chances of securing a U.S. job through the 3-year OPT. WSO Monkey Bot
+1 Nvidia reformed
+1 Gonna let you in on a little secret. It’s way easier to just say “oh yeah I’ll ask around” or “I’ll refer you to my colleague” to just end the call rather than awkwardly tell someone no or lie and say it’s against policy. Associate 1 in IB - CB
+1 Given that you just turned 25, you’re not taking much into account that your early-20s were covid-impacted. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+1 What have your friends at your university done for internships/jobs? Do you have any work experience on your resume (Like even a job as a waiter)? What is your major/GPA? What are your extracurriculars?  parmesan123123
+1 I'll answer some of these questions as a 19-year old...  Penguin2006
